Conservation Use Farm and Timber Land Acreage Limit Increase Amendment is a ballot measure in Georgia on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Doubles the amount of farm and timber land one owner can enroll in Georgia's conservation-use program, from 2,000 to 4,000 acres; enrolled land is taxed at 40% of its value under a 10-year covenant. Large landowners would pay less property tax, and counties would collect less.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: Average · 50 out of 100
This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 10,940,407 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(10,940,407 ÷ 10,940,407) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in GA (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.
